Mendota, Wash., Character
Commits Suicide in
Peculiar Manner.
(SpceUl P1tptch to Th JoarnL
Centralis, Wiih., Nov. 8. The body
of a- man was .found f ac down In ths
waters of Hannaford creek, near the
Mendota Coal and Coke company's
.mines Saturday morning:. ' Apparently
the body had been In the water tour or
five weeks. It was recognized as that
of a man who had been employed at
Doty to clear off some land and who
had suddenly become Insane and disap
peared in the woods about five weeks
ago.
Nothing: Is known about him; When
he left this city for Mendota October 1
he gave his name as Call. Three days
later he became Insane and lived In con
stant fear that officers were after him
and about to capture him. At one -time
he attempted to telephone to police offl
cers by talking through the stovepipe
of the cookhouse.
When aekedUwhy officers should be
after him he said that he had committed
a crime, but did not say what the na
ture of the crime was. He was always
frightened when the train arrived, evi
dently believing that officers might ar
rive on It.
When the body was found a root in
the bed of the creek ' was tightly
grasped by one of the hands, leading to
the belief that the man committed sui
cide by throwing himself Into the water
nnd holding himself under by grasping
the sunken root.
LABOR LEGION RALLIES

firmly and compactly, and we are de
termined to keep up the fight for Jus
tice." Qompers' Annual JUport.
President Oompers, in his annual re
port presented today, reviewed the in
dustrial situation, asserting that the
present lack of work waa the result of
governmental errors. He gave In. detail
an account of his work before the con
gress and of the various labor, cases
now pending In the courts. At th
opening he spoke as follows:
"Fellow-Workers: Fourteen years ago
we met In this city, and then, just as
now, the workers were suffering from
a naralvsls of industry resultlnsr from
the manipulations of the" 'princes Of
finance' or from the Incompetency of
our modern 'captains of industry.' I
declare now, as I did then, that It is
an indictment against our clvllliation
that in a land so bountiful, broad and
fertile as ours, with workers so e&rneat,
energetic, industrious, anxious and will
ing to produce, such a paralysis of in
dustry should be, possible, ami I believe
we should hold accountable those who
are responsible for unnecessary and
wanton misery of so large a mass of
workless workers.
"In our country there must not be
permitted to grow or to be maintained
a permanent army of the unemployed.

"Tn the midst of such adverse circum

In reference to the political campaign.
Ciompers aaia: .
"When congress adjourned, after so
shamelessly refusing to accord the
workers the relief and rights upon
which they had set their hearts and
hopes, the feeling became still more
tense among the great rank and file of
labor. The executive council then de-
elded to appeal from the action of con
gress to the representatives of the two
great political parties, In convention as
sembled, i
"As already stated, we presented Iden

Moral Victory, At AU Events.
"When this report 1b being written

stands out clear and can never here

Mrs. Newbride "Yes, but this is thi way mother wash

Anty Drudge "Yes, and your mother wore hoopskirts,
and a poke bonnet, and did her sewing by hand, when
she was young. But I don't see you doing those
things. Take my advice and use Fels-Naptna soap

Malheur County Man Leaves
Wife and Child Without

Vale, Or., Nov. Pavid Wiener Of
Junctura has escaped the hangman s
noose by pleading ulltjr to murder In
the second degree, for the killing of Ben
Dull, his partner. The crime waa one.
of the most remarkable In the history
of Malheur county. "Wlsner Is 8 years
of age, a family man,' And has been

past. Until the crime of last winter
Wisner's record waa excellent and no

Wlsner could not be brought to believe
that the law would convict him of the

nel B. Webster of Portland offered his
services to Wlsner, who is without

he was compelled to tell Wlsner that
there was no chance of escape from at
least a verdict of murder la the second

likelihood of a verdict of murder in the

with a contemptuous shrug of the
shoulders. . .
"The movement of labor through the
ages has been a struggle for Justice.
It is founded upon truth, and truth Is

The report reviews the work of labor
organizations during the year, and re
fers to the development along various
lines.
Of the injunction Issued In the su
preme courtvof District of Columbia In
the famous Buck Stove & Range com
pany litigation, for alleged violation of
which Gompers, Secretary Frank Morri
son and John Mitchell were arrested on
a charge of contempt, President Gom
pers said:
"It Is Impossible to see how we can
comply fully with the court's Injunc
tion. Shall we be denied the right of
free speech and free press simply be
cause we are workmen? Is It think
able that we shall be compelled to sup
press, refuse to distribute and kill for
all time to come the official transac
tions of one of the great conventions of
our federation? I hope not.
'Now It is the American Federation of
Labor and the American Federatlonlst
which are enjoined from the right of
the exercise of free speech and the lib
erty of the press. In the future it may
be another publication, and this Injunc
tion will be quoted as a sacred prece
dent for future and further encroach
ments upon the rights and liberties of
our people.
"Tlis contention of labor with the
Buck Stove &. Range company sinks
into comparative insignificance . con
trasted with the great principles whion
are at stake. It Is not Imaginable that
Inasmuch as the constitution of our
country guarantees to every cltlien the
right of free speech and free press, and
forbids the congresa of oilr country
from enacting any law that shall In any
way abridge, invade or deny the liberty
of speech and the freedom of press,
that a court by tha Issuance of an In
junction can Invade and deny these
rights."

Every woman inherits certain ways of
housework from her mother as the
mother did from her grandmother. One
of these ideas from ancient times concerns
the washing of clothes. ' "Boil 'em, Boil
'em good," is the old tradition. Until the
invention of Fels-Naptha soap that was the
only way to" wash. Now, isn't it foolish
to keep on boiling clothes, and rubbing
them hard, when a-way to wash better in
cold or lukewarm water with no hard rub
bing has been found?
Clothes last longer with no boiling to
weaken .thejr fibre. Every progressive
woman is glad to get rid of the hot fire,
steam and suds, as well as the back-breaking
work of hard rubbing.
But there's a right way and a wrong
way to use Fels-Naptha. Start right. Fol
low the directions on the wrapper and
you'll have a better, easier, cleaner way of
washing. For other reasons which are ex-t
plained on the red and green wrapper,

"There Is no disrespect on my part to
the Judge or the court when with sol
emn conviction I assert that this In
vasion is unwarranted. The -wrong has
grown from the precedent set by pre
vious injunction abuses, and the Judge
in this instance haa but extended the
frocess. The suppression of freedom of
he press Is a most notorious undertak
ing, whether In autocratic Rusia or in
the republic Of the United States. It is
because the present Injunction and the
contempt proceedings mereunaer sup

"If what Is published Is wrong, or
false, or sedulous, or treasonable. It Is

"If what is published Is libelous, the
civil and criminal laws may be invoked.
"The right to freely print and' speak

has been advocated and upheld by the
ablest minds. Tremendous sacrifices
have been made lo its establishment.
These rights must not, cannot and will

must not be forbidden by a court's In

In reference to injunctions, Gompers
said:
"Injunctions as issued against work-J
men are never applied 10 or issued
against any other citizen of our coun
try. These Injunctions are an attempt
to deprive cltisens of our country, when
they are workmen, of. the right to trial
by Jury. They are an effort to fasten
an offense upon workmen who are In
nocent of any illegal act. They are Is
sued in trade disputes to make out
laws of men who are not even charged
with doings in violation of any law of
stats or nation. These Injunctions Is
sued in labor disputes, are an Indi
rect assertion of a property right tn
men when these men are workmen en
gaged In a legitimate effort to protect
or to advance their natural rights and
Interests."
labor Movement's Social Tores.
Oompers referred to the failure of
congress to pass the Wilson bill, which
would make It Impossible to Include la
bor unions in the provisions of the
Sherman anti-trust law, and the Pierce
bill, which embodied the contentions of
organised labor In connection with the
Issuance of Injunctions. He appealed
to the delegates to continue their fight
for these- two Issues. ' .
In conclusion Oompers said:
"Looklng Over the cast field of the
activities of our labor movement, -the
f reat good It has accomplished, for our
elloW workers particularly and for our
people getirraliv, the conviction haa be
come ingrained' in my very being that
there Is no force mora, potent in all so

While alone at the house yes

an outhouse, unfastened the
frojp of her waist, and with the
mujtele of a 22-callbre rifle
pnBSsed to her naked breast,
over the heart, she pulled the
trigger.
Death must have been Instan

not found until the return of the
family.
She was about 40 years of age
and leaves a husband and four

this morning on the new line to run

the Southern Pacific, allowing trains
from the west side to enter the city
over the steel bridge Instead of along

ried so aa to allow trains on tha new
Tillamook line, which will have to enter
Portland via the west aide road, to

that it would be impracticable to allow

the present Fourth street tracks as a
part of the main line between this city
and Tillamook.

Mrs. De Clcco almost turned the

Mrs. De Clcco was put on the stand
a few minutes. She dented that she
hit the ponceman with a sledgehammer.
She expressed this denial In clear Eng

attorney admitted that she did wield
the hammer, putting all his reliance on
the plea that 'his client cannot control
